Cutting the Kronis vest will replicate terroar's vest easily, and if you use hot water , it won't damage the figures' leg sockets at all to give him the right waistoff Rattlor. Takes less than a minute to make a waist switch if someone wants to. That's how I made a Terroar custom a year ago.
At first, when I saw the uncolored vintage card-back artwork for these figures, I was disappointed. Over time though, the designs have grown on me. The colors make them pop quite a bit. I still think the unproduced last wave of heroic characters came out a little better/more distinctive (Strobo, Plasmar, Slamurai). It may be a false memory, but for some reason, I seem to recall some speculation online on various forums that several of these characters had different working names, as do so many other characters during the design process. I want to say that Plasmar was known as Hot-Shot at some point, and Terroar was Zip-Neck... which makes me curious as to if the initial plan back in the 1980s was to have Terroar's neck make a "zip" sound effect when retracted or extended, which would've given him more of a distinctive action feature. Regardless, fun to speculate! The unknowns and mystery around these characters are part of the charm. Great review!
I like to think of Terroar as "The Thing" of MOTU. His classics bio, for as much as I frown at them, is his only lore and I'd like to see it expanded on in a horror sort of way.
Thanks for the review! Hoping to find these 2 at WalMart, as online scalper prices are through the roof. Also, was wondering when you are going to do your next update on your MOTU Origins figure ranking video? (And do you collect and rank the Masterverse figures also?)
You are so welcome! I typically wait for a year of releases to update my origins rankings, so once a year is what I aim for. I’m actually only a couple of figures away from having a complete Masterverse collection so when I get those I’ll be doing the Masterverse ranking video! Hopefully before the month is out. Thanks for watching!

Still nervously waiting for my preorder of these two from Walmart. Visually both of them are a win in my eyes. Love the colors!
ANOTHER AWESOME REVIEW...PLANNIG ON GETTING THESE GUYS ASAP......THANKS:)
Loving these figures. I really hope they make it to BBTS or EE. Only way Canadians can get their hands on them.

I have never been able to find any Walmart exclusive. Hopefully I find at least one of these two.
